TORONTO, Oct. 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Warrior Gold Inc. (TSX-V - WAR) ("Warrior Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the summer field program of prospecting and mapping has now been completed and planning of the Company's follow-up diamond drilling program is underway.

The results from the prospecting program, designed to target four structural domains (the Goodfish A and Kirana Deformation Zones, the Kirkland Break Extension at Hargreaves and the "Violette" Lineament - see Map 1) confirm the presence of anomalous gold values on all four structures in addition to values up to 5.97 g/t Au associated with the Kirana DZ. A table of results can be found on the Company's website located at www.WarriorGoldInc.com.

A reconnaissance field mapping program was completed on September 30^th where a total of 198 samples were collected with assay values expected by the end of October. The mapping program was designed to follow up areas of interest identified during the prospecting campaign. Property-wide structural and litho-geochemical samples were collected and new areas of exploration interest have been outlined. Information obtained from this work has enabled the Company to further define and refine its geologic model. The analytical results will provide both pathfinders for gold-vectoring and an array of elements for host rock and alteration discrimination mapping.

Warrior Gold plans to undertake a 3,500-metre diamond drilling program which is anticipated to start at the end of October 2019. Drilling will commence with a 2,000 m program of between eight and ten holes at Goodfish "A Zone". This will focus on extending the high-grade mineralization identified in previous drilling campaigns (GK19-008 5.37 m of 9.04 g/t and GF90-04 12.6 m of 16.97 g/t) along strike and at depth as shown on Map 2. The remaining 1,000 m will be drilled at the Goodfish "C Zone" and on regional targets identified from the summer program.

"We are pleased with the results and geological data collected from the prospecting and mapping program as they confirm the presence of anomalous and high-grade gold values on important structures identified by the LiDAR, geophysics and historical mapping. This information combined with the detailed structural mapping and sampling contributes to our knowledge base, by adding valuable information to the geological understanding of the property. This will increase confidence for our Phase Two drilling program slated to commence at the end of October," stated Danièle Spethmann, President and CEO.
